The Story of Lut (Lot) (Peace Be Upon Him): The Prophet of Purity and the Overturned Cities
Chronological Order: The People of Abomination and the Early Prophets
The story of Lut (Lot) is a warning to humanity against straying from the natural inclination (Fitrah) and transgressing God's limits in desires.
Lut (Lot) (PBUH) is the nephew of Ibrahim (Abraham) the Friend of God, sent by God to a people who had never previously committed the obscenity they became known for.

Story Details: Open Declaration of Evil
Lut was sent to his people after an obscenity unprecedented by anyone before them had spread among them. Lut called them to abandon this evil, return to the natural inclination (Fitrah), and the purity of women, reminding them that he was a trustworthy Messenger. Their response was to threaten expulsion and to mock him and his followers.
The Arrival of the Angels and the Destruction
God sent Angels (on their way to destroy the people of Lut) to Lut in the form of handsome young men. His treacherous wife quickly informed the people of his guests, so they came rushing to him to commit the obscenity. Lut defended his guests and tried to awaken their natural instinct, and at that point, the Angels revealed their identity and commanded Lut to leave with those who believed with him in the last part of the night, and not to look back.
With sunrise, God's punishment came: the cities were overturned, with their upper part made their lower part, and God rained down upon them stones of Sijjeel (baked clay) from the sky, so they all perished. Lut's wife perished with them because she looked back when she heard the punishment upon her people.

Lessons and Morals Learned:
- The Danger of Obscenity: The consequence of openly committing obscenities and the overturning of the natural inclination (Fitrah) is the severest punishment.
- The Salvation of the Pious: God saves Lut and his righteous family at the appointed time.
- The Lesson in the Outcome: What is now called "The Dead Sea" is one of the effects of this divine punishment.
The Pivotal Verse:
﴾Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareen﴿ (Ash-Shu'ara: 173)Key to the Story: Purity and Accountability
The story of Lut (Lot) is the most severe lesson against moral and natural deviation. It confirms that God is not heedless of those who spread corruption on Earth, and that accountability is inevitable.
